[ICOM] Advice on AH4 tuner

[htankin at comcast.net]

I've used my AH4 with a 706 and 718 at a cabin in upstate NY several years in a row.  I shoot about 85 feet of wire into the trees, put down 4 radials about 50 feet long.  Performs GREAT on 80m through 10m.  Relatively simple to set up for portable operation.  Tunes nicely.  Make portable operation a pleasure.
